My cherry tomato plants are still kickin’! So of course, we’re continuing to look for new ways to use them! :-)
One of my favorite tomato recipes I’ve tried lately was actually from Martha. My mom recently gave me a stash of her Martha Stewart “Everyday” magazines from the past few months, and (not sure why I was surprised) I’ve totally been enjoying them!! So far the five or so recipes I’ve tried from them have all been a success, and nearly all of them have only used a handful of ingredents. You know how I roll — love it! :)
Anyway, this one was supposed to be for shrimp, tomatoes and arugula. But I only had spinach in the casa, so substituted it in and the result was still a fresh and wonderfully flavorful summer dish! I also threw in some smoked paprika (because I apparently can never resist), but I’m sure it’d be fine without it too.
Definitely a fresh, light, and delicious 15-minute meal. Enjoy!!

Notes
Did you make this?Let me know how it turned out in the comments below!
Used over angel hair pasta with grated paramasan cheese.
I love this recipe for three reasons. One, with the exception of Hungarian paprika (which I always use in place of plain paprika), all ingredients are available at Aldi, including peeled deveined raw shrimp. Two, this is so simple and quick to make; I used already minced garlic and I only needed to use a knife to cut the lemon in half. Three, it’s out of this world delicious with good for me ingredients. This is going to be a weekly meal from now on.
I made this for my parents and they loved it. The only thing I did was back off a little on the smoked paprika because I feel it can be overpowering. Started with half and then added a bit more to taste. Super easy and quick to prepare. Will make again no and again.
So simple and so delicious!
Excellent! Perfect dish to eat over pasta on a summer day. Very satisfying.
This was one of the most delicious and easiest recipes to make! Thank you!
Just made in lockdown in Spain, simple delicious and quick
Super easy
Love this! It’s easy and delicious!
This is delicious! I made it with frozen shrimp and bottled lemon juice because I had them on hand. I also used Pam cooking spray to help reduce the calories. It was amazing, and it took me less than 20 min to make it! I can easily stay on a lower calorie diet with recipes like this one.
